like use them up just to save your a** out of humiliation because of their deeds? i feel so bad about this couple who befriended me just for the heck of their own benefits...i was sympathetic to them thats why i got into this trouble because of them... first off, they are my co-workers...they befriended me and had shown me their good enough to be true...all is well at the start then here comes the trouble ahead me..they always fight because they lack money...they got huge debt with other people and they are being humiliated and threatened by other officemates...i pitty on them and they ask for my help...and dumb me and due to so much pitty on them i gave in to their tactics...i let them borrow my savings...to cover up one person whom they owed money to...and then days after its the same issue...another person involved..they had to get salary loan into a financing company and they need me to be their guarantor...i gave in again and loan up for them plus they loan up for their selves as well...now to sh*t up on this...they won't come in to work...they left me payin their debt and they wont pay me back for a thousand bucks...and plus i found out that their been like this to almost all people they newly meet...and the worst thing is...i found out that they always say to other people that they don't like me...but they keep asking for my money that they never gave back... so that said it...their F**** used me up.... how do you handle this kind of people? ever encountered some?

It's human weakness and compassion that are often being exploited by ple :( I did meet with some fake friends b4 but my cases are not as serious as yours.. I did lose some money and luckily it's not much.. From there, i've learnt my lesson to stop myyself to pity anybody, and if they really need money, i will refer them to others, normally to my police fren.. LOL ^_^ So that, i will know immediately if they are out to cheat me or wat ^_^

Oh I can go on and on about that. I feel for you, I really do. I have had a history of bending over backwards to help my "friends" out and then later finding out they stabbed me in the back. Unfortunately people like that only look after themselves and don't care about how they treat anyone else. But don't worry they'll get theirs.

Hi angel_of_charm! I guess, I have met a lot of them all throughout my life. They have used me in all of their own selfish needs. But I guess, as I grew older, I became skeptical on people I meet because of the hurt I've been through. There are a lot of users and fake friends all around us. I just hope you will overcome this and with this experience, you will be wiser yet kinder. Anyway, I know that you have always been a true and kind friend. So, let these users and fake friends have their laughs for now soon "karma" will catch up on them. Just my thoughts dear. Take care and have a nice day!

I really don't recall anyone who used me as a friend. I believe I haven't encountered one yet and I am glad about it so far even here in the office. I believe in Bad Karma so if your co-workers did that bad thing to you, surely, one day, there will be a bad karma. I hope that you get through with this but I think you really need to make them PAY their debt to you. That is not fair. Is there any way you can bring this to court? I mean, it is not right that you are paying their debt...

yes, i can bring this to court but i'm still hopin for a good talk with them...if they won't bail on it then its their problem they have to go through...i actually made the first move with our local officers here in my town..

I see. You are doing the right thing in talking to them first and reporting it to the local officers there in your community. I just hope that you will get to resolve this. Take care. Goodluck.

R u out of ur mind? Friend is friend. There is a limit!No matter how good friends is, never be a guarantor.U just know them.They r ur co-worker and u simply lend them money & be their guarantor.U r so generous and nice.U know how crooked is this world? There is a Chinese saying mentioned that there are straight trees in the jungle and never there is any "straight " man. What it means is simply there are no really really honest people in this world. We all are a bit crooked at time.For example,if somebody wishes u good morning,u say good morning back even though u have a bad morning. Sometimes we just have 2 lie a bit. I know u say what the matters with what u posting? Everything? I just trying 2 show u dun be so nice to everybody especially those people u just know.They sure have something on their back I hope I get 2 know u sooner.Maybe then u can lend me some money.....Just kidding!!!
